    I did some digging. Apparently people are already raising eyebrows at the fact that it produces non-reproducible results, so much so that the official documentation says this:

    The COPILOT function’s model will evolve and improve in the future and formula results may change over time, even with the same arguments. Only use the COPILOT function where this is acceptable. If you don’t want results to recalculate, consider converting them into values with Copy, Paste Values (select values, Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Shift + V).

    …This is a note buried in the official help file. Gee gosh ding dilly damn I hope the people who use this function read the docs thorougly, just like they have done through the entire history of computing.

    “Consider converting th-” [beer through her nose] CONSIDER???!? THIS IS A PRETTY CRUCIAL STEP.

    They should apply the Balatro Misprint joker’s visual effect on all of the cells affected by this function. To signal the users that they’ve entered the Undecidability Zone. Where Gödel only went in Thursdays and 8-10 Polynesian time in Tuesdays (subject to change).
